PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION

What is Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation?

Physiatry, or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, is a branch of medicine specialised in the treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the nerves, brain, spinal cord, joints, bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

When should you see a Physiatrist?

You should see a physical medicine and rehabilitation consultant if:

  • you have experienced a sports injury that causes pain and/or impedes normal physical functioning
  • you are suffering from a musculoskeletal condition
  • You are experiencing back or neck pain
  • You have undergone joint replacement
  • You suffer from fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis or other chronic pain or debilitating conditions
  • You are suffering from pain associated to a trauma, surgery or a burn
  • You have an illness, disability, or experienced treatment for an illness that has left you with limited physical functioning and pain
  • You have had a stroke or suffer from a heart condition

What happens during a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Visit?

During the visit, the physical medicine and rehabilitation Specialist will collect a comprehensive history and evaluate your mobility and any diagnostic exams you have already carried out. This will allow the Doctor to ascertain whether your pain is due to a mechanical dysfunction such as a pinched nerve from a disc herniation, an inflammatory process such as arthritis, or other conditions such as an autoimmune disease. injury recovery clinics london
The purpose of the first appointment is to provide you with a good understanding of what the problem is and the peace of mind of knowing what steps you will have to take for rehabilitation and healing. At the end of this first appointment, a tailored treatment program aimed at resolving the cause of pain will then be drafted for you.
A large part of a phyisiatrist’s work is the construction of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan aimed at restoring function. Physical and Rehabilitation Specialists often coordinate their care program with other specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists or rheumatologists, and they also work with physiotherapists, speech therapists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, psychologists and nutritionists.
